Endorsements
“James Johnston’s masterful exposition of the Psalms is theologically rich, pastorally wise, and spiritually rewarding. He clearly explains the distinctiveness of each psalm and then shows, in the light of the New Testament, how each psalm ultimately points forward to fulfillment in Christ. Even Christians who have read the Psalms for their entire lives, as I have, will find refreshing new insight in page after page of this excellent book!”
Wayne Grudem, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary
“Psalms will be a treasured volume in this series. The original text is taken seriously and the gospel is made clear. In reading it, my own affections for Christ were delightfully energized. Johnston weds his love for God’s poetry to his heart, which is so joyfully pledged to God’s people.”
David R. Helm, Senior Pastor, Christ Church Chicago; Chairman, The Charles Simeon Trust
“While being sensitive to the original historical context of the Psalms as the prayer and songbook of Israel, Johnston is keenly aware that there is a Christocentric end to which the Psalms point and a Son in whom they find fulfillment, who is Israel’s promised Messiah. Because of this, Johnston recognizes all the Psalms are messianic, and understood in this way means the Psalms are also the Christian’s prayer, song, and life book. Reading this commentary results in thanksgiving and worship. Johnston’s excellent commentary is a great addition to the Preaching the Word series. I commend it to you as both an aid to your preaching and as a companion to your devotional reading and praying of the Psalms.”
Gregory C. Strand, Executive Director of Theology and Credentialing, Evangelical Free Church of America; Adjunct Professor of Pastoral Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“More excellent fodder for sermons from this first-rate resource for preachers.”
